pop vs secret intake *opinions please*

So i'm thinking of getting a new intake rather than the oem g35coupe intake, and i've come to two choices.

JWT Pop Charger (which everyone seems to praise)
or
Weapon R Secret Weapon 3.5" intake

I know its mostly for sound, as this topic has been raped many a time, but if anyone has been able to compare the two, please offer advice.

I say JWT Pop since it comes with a heat shield. At least you can salvage a little performance with that sound. Plus the JWT filter design seems better to me.

Quoted from the Weapon R secret intake link
Note: CARB approvals pending. Off-road use only! Not Legal for use on public highways. Fits Infiniti G35 05,04,03, 2005,2004,2003,
id go for pop charger, so incase u ever ARE pulled over/have hood pop, its all legal. unless of course popcharger isnt legal either??

i agree, but as long as i keep the stock one at home, and change it, it won't be a problem will it? or will they actually fine me a ton for "illegal intake?" Can cops even tell legal intakes from non-approved ones?

WeaponR FTW!! i love mine, its different and most people already have the JWT, not many ppl have the WR, the JWT is a little louder at WOT but the WR sounds better imo.
